i'm just watching armageddon...and wondering..space is a vacuum right? so is space hot or cold? and can light travel through vacuum? if light can't travel through vacuum..how does an astronaut see the earth (cos essentially..sight is light transmitted to the eyes)? if light can travel through a vacuum..why is space always portrayed as dark (cos i mean..the sun is quite a substantial source of light)? hmm..any astrophysicists out there? does NASA have an office in DC? dan brown wrote abt gabrielle going to NASA in DC...but we all know NASA is in Houston..hence the phrase..Houston we have a problem! haha..space is an enigma. but it's so interesting! too bad my mind wasn't structured to absorb much physics she-bang..
